This chic German trio is making me re-think my summer skirt game--and score with a long and bold play. What's most appealing about this midi silhouette is its wear-anywhere ability. It can be dressed up or down--i.e., with sky-high heels, simple sandals or even sneakers--plus, it will keep me cool on a hot summer day. No major accessories needed. Prime examples include the , above, the checked linen (right), this feminine , this polka dot , this striped (also this one), and this mesh wrap.
